Increase Game Speed Amount

[ZombiePotatoSalad]

Sure, fast forward is fast, but is it fast enough? Is there a way to increase the game speed under fast forward to go even faster?

There's a trello note that indicates the devs might make a faster speed than what is currently offered. Don't think it's a high priority, but they do have it listed.

Whats the point of playing if you're just skipping everything? Why do you need the game to be faster?

1 iron ore mined.

I'm not skipping anything, I'm speeding things up. There's a difference. To skip things would actually take the fun out of a game. Fight coming up? Skip (also known as auto-resolve). That isn't fun. I just want things to go faster. I don't want have to wait for the drudgery of mining a single iron ore, and then refine it at an absurd conversion rate, which I then have to wait to mine MORE ore to make a single iron plate. That isn't fun as well.

Also, I'm simply using something the developers put into the game. If I wanted a fast forward option where there was one, that would be different. It just feels like the current fast-forward isn't as fast as it used to be, and could stand to be just a bit faster, at least in my opinion.

Using Cheat Engine Speedhack feature could have been a way to help you but i cannot advice you to do it without expecting problem like crash or memory leaks :/

I never tested it myself in kenshi but since i used it in a lot of game, you could give a try !

Just be sure to save before using it and expect it to be a little messy :o

I cannot think of something better right now !

Tell me if it's helped you buddy :D

(just google cheat engine speedhack feature, it's really simple in case you never used the logiciel :D )

Have a good day buddy

Norton flagged it, so I'll have to shut off Norton.

Yeah, because this tool can have access to memory adress, i would understand why he his a false positive :D

How the game is currently running, going any faster as the fastest setting as it is now, prolly will crash the game, if i use already now Fastest on travel, huge change when the game wants to autosave, load terrain and fast time crash is imenent.

Mining is boring at starters, later on its hardly trivial anymore.
IMHO the game needs ALOT more optimalisations and less disc activity before faster time modes will be of any use.

Its already speed up/hang/speedup/hang/speedup/freeze and i dont have a crappy PC at all, still my PC (i7 4820k/16GB ram/1050Ti/SSD huge loading lag and saving lag.
Alot of background loading that let the game stutter and freeze.

While on normal and medium speed these effects are alot less, so guessing speeding things even more up, wil surely make the game crash ALOT...

So i really hope they not adding this any time soon, at least not till the game is really optimized

Arran Chace, while i understand this can be a pain sometime, you need to know that this game as been build on the OGRE engine 2.0 ! This engine lack some feature for multithreading and so, i fear there is not much that can be done !
Dev allready stated that the only way to get better performance would be to upgrade to a newer version of the engine but if it happen, that would delay A LOT the 1.0 version of kenshi and surely will cause some problem with feature like rebuilding them from the very begining !

Correct me if i'm wrong but i fear there is a few thing that can be done to improve performance right now ! But the game can be optimised a little more i think !

But sorry buddy, do not expect it to be A LOT better than now :/

As for me, I just import my game and set the production speed to maximum, I also got bored from mining copper or iron ores with standard speed.
